Why Jews Speak of Memory, Not History: Meir Y. Soloveichik, Commentary Magazine, June 2023 — On a recent visit to Israel, I toured the Museum of the Underground Prisoners, in Acre. It is housed in the Ottoman fortress that the British utilized as their most important prison during their colonial administration of Palestine between 1920 and 1948.
Too Little Too Late?
READ IN FULL: Special Counsel John Durham’s Final 306-Page Report: Washington Examiner, May 15, 2023 — Special counsel John Durham released his final, 306-page report investigating the FBI’s investigation into former President Donald Trump ‘s alleged links to Russia.
Why the Durham Report Matters to Democracy: Editorial Board, WSJ, May 16, 2023 — Two special counsels, several inspector general reports and six years later, the country finally has a more complete account of the FBI’s Russia collusion probe of the 2016 Donald Trump campaign.
Durham’s Report Should Outrage the Left: Christian Parenti, Compact, May 18, 2023 — Most media coverage of the Durham report is preposterous, and becomes more so if you read the highly detailed 306-page document. In its initial coverage, for example, The New York Times went out of its way to emphasize that the report relates to failings inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation that had already been exposed and thus contains little that is “new.”

The Durham Coverup: Lee Smith, LeeSmith.locals.com, May 16, 2023 — Reading through the newly released Durham Report, there’s a lot to absorb and I plan to be filling several reviews in the coming days. But it struck me that the section of the report detailing an aspect of John Brennan’s role in the Clinton campaign and Obama administration’s operation targeting Donald Trump and his aides was most urgent.
Durham Exposes Sins of FBI in Trump-Russia Saga: Rowan Scarborough, The Washington Times, May 18, 2023 — The FBI’s sins descended so low in the Trump-Russia saga that it has taken two voluminous investigations by the Justice Department’s inspector general and now special counsel John Durham to expose and condemn.

The Deep State Stabbed Donald Trump in the Back During The 2016 Election: Michael Goodwin, NY Post, May 16, 2023 — You don’t have to read all of the special counsel John Durham’s report to get to the heart of the matter: On the third page of the executive summary, he writes: “The speed and manner in which the FBI opened and investigated Crossfire Hurricane during the presidential election season based on raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence also reflected a noticeable departure from how it approached prior matters involving possible attempted foreign election interference plans aimed at the Clinton campaign.”
